Automotive & Transport Services · Vehicle Service & Repair · Automotive Technician

In short

Master thesis student position at Volvo Group in Göteborg, Sweden, focusing on data analysis of weather effects on truck aerodynamic testing. The role involves analyzing large datasets to understand the physical mechanisms behind aerodynamic drag variation due to environmental conditions.

Responsibilities

Analyze large, real-world datasets of aerodynamic test results, weather measurements, and logged signals.
Investigate physical mechanisms behind CdA variation due to transient effects.
Perform statistical analysis of CdA variation against environmental variables across multiple proving grounds.
Conduct segment-by-segment signal analysis within individual test runs.
Decompose CdA scatter into aerodynamic environmental effects, non-aerodynamic confounders, and unexplained residual.
Cross-reference findings with an existing ML correlation and prediction model.

Requirements

Master's student in Engineering Physics, Mathematics, Data Science, Statistics, Mechanical Engineering, or similar.
Strong in Python, comfortable working with large, real-world datasets that need cleaning and structuring.
Solid grounding in statistics.
Independent and structured way of working, with high drive and curiosity.
Sense for the physics behind the numbers.

Desired Qualifications

Experience in machine learning or signal analysis is a plus.

Benefits

Opportunity to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions.
Work with next-gen technologies and collaborative teams.
Mentorship and growth opportunities from experienced professionals.
Contribute to cutting-edge projects shaping the future of the automotive industry.
Master thesis, 30 ECTS, 20 weeks.
